Shades of the February 2017 1-5 game here. That one finally saw off McGhee from his second spell and a loss here should do the same for Kettlewell.

Game over. Like i said the other week “Relegation Relegation. Ole. Ole. Ole.”

Amateurish defending yet again.

Happy enough with that team now we need to make sure we get three points. Just get it done Motherwell.

There is absolutely no chance whatsoever of us winning three games in a row! This team couldn’t be trusted to win one. County winning last night has cranked up the pressure just a little bit more on us to get a win on Saturday but I can’t see us getting it and reckon this will be yet another defeat. 0-2

The last time we won a game almost three months ago.

Airdrie would have been a nightmare draw for us, home or away. They are always more up for it than we are and would more than likely turned us over. I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat St.Johnstone either.

1996. To be honest I’ve wanted to see us gub them ever since that tie. Their goalkeeper dancing about as if his arse was on fire when he saved the penalties still annoys me. This is a tie we should win and anything less will be incompetence and unacceptable. That said you can never fully trust Motherwell to do the business against anyone in a Cup game.

Social media is absolutely awash with seethe and rabid bullshit from the “Rangers always get a helping hand” muppets as you would expect any time Rangers get a penalty which prevents them losing. The fact that the decision was correct by the rules of the game is irrelevant to these people because the issue to them is not whether or not the decision to award the penalty was justified, it is simply that Rangers got a penalty, full stop. And especially so just when it looked like Rangers were going to lose. That’s when you get the full on blabbering seething pish from these types of people #IIII see fields of green, Red roses too… I see them bloom, for me and you And I think to myself Wha# ….. Rangers got a penalty???!!!! Bastards! Cheats! Masons! Refs! Every fucking week! Knew it! Only they get the decisions! Baaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrghhhhh!!!!

It was a penalty yesterday and a penalty today. It’s daft as fuck to tug jerseys inside the box when VAR is in operation.

We have to win this one, no two ways about it. It would really help our cause if we could actually score first as opposed to having to chase the game and giving ourselves a mountain to climb. Obika and Biereth should both start as long as they are fit.

Yes they are, I see that now. Lost on pens to QoS yesterday. Okay so we can’t draw Dundee United, but it’ll still be a shite draw for us, it almost always is.

4th Round draw takes place tonight on Sportscene. We badly, badly could do with a Cup run to lift the mood around the club but with our luck with draws and poor form then it’s unlikely. I fully expect us to be drawn away to another top flight side yet again, probably St.Mirren. Either that or Dundee Utd for Moult to score against us and knock us out.

This is a great result and we’re all entitled to enjoy it given the circumstances and who it was against. But we must follow this up with a win against Dundee next week, otherwise the pressure will be - rightly - cranked up on SK again.

Supporting Motherwell isn’t always about getting pleasure. It’s about following the team through thick and thin, no matter what. Obviously you hope that you get pleasure and enjoyment from it but you know that quite often it’s going to be a hard watch and that you will more likely than not end up frustrated. That’s why unexpected results like we got today are so satisfying, because it makes you understand why you sit through the multiple kicks in the stones.

Never mind me. Discuss the game and the result!

That was a superb result against all the odds. We need to build on this though and make sure that we pick up three points at home against Dundee next Saturday. I see it was Tom Boyd’s 58th birthday yesterday. So may I wish our ‘91 Cup winning captain a belated happy birthday and a Get it right fucking up him! The whinging, paranoid, chip on the shoulder prick that he is.

No, that you would come on here and rather than comment on the game, the result or the performance you would make an arsey remark about a post made without the benefit of hindsight. I would have put a bet on that but I doubt I’d find a bookie willing to take a bet on an outright certainty.

We all know what’s going to happen here. As I said earlier, this is a carbon copy of the game at Fir Park.

It’s been coming unfortunately and going by the rules of the game that is a stonewall penalty. We can have no complaints.

This has all the makings of a repeat of the September game at Fir Park. Celtic below par, we’re not good enough to take advantage and they will eventually wear us down with their superior fitness and quality and the happy clappies will warble on about how we were “unlucky” and that “we played well”. 🙄 The end result will be the same though, we get fuck all.

Got to make chances like that count in games like this!

Mugabi back in from the start, SO’D starts again. As if it wasn’t going to be hard enough today. On the plus side Biereth starts.

I’m no fan of McLeish but he did play his part in Skippy Sunday by guiding his Rangers side to victory in their game at Easter Road so for that he gets a pass.

Sadly true. We are Pauper FC. Or at least that’s the image those running the club want to put out.
